Why choose the Philosopher Buffalo Horn Frame?
Horn is a living, breathable material; it is naturally hypoallergenic, resists sweat and, with proper care, lasts for decades while developing a graceful patina. In a recent peer-reviewed study, horn outperformed petroleum-based plastics in both tensile strength and skin compatibility—proof that sustainability and luxury can coexist.

Style notes
The Philosopher Horn Frame pairs an elevated brow-line with a keyhole bridge that flatters most nose shapes. Its clean circle lenses evoke vintage thinkers, yet the sculpted ridge on top lends a confident, contemporary edge. Wear it with relaxed weekend knits for a touch of bohemian charm, or slide it under a tailored overcoat to sharpen boardroom attire—transitioning between worlds has never been easier.
